Army Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter in large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in rice, garlic, salt, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and bay leaves. Continue to cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Discard bay leaves. Transfer to a bowl.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and the chopped onions; saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in the bell pepper, chili powder, ground annatto, chili flakes, cumin, and cinnamon. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Pour the rice into the saucepan and stir to coat. Add the water and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring the rice to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan and turn the heat to low. Simmer the rice for 25 minutes.
• When the rice is cooked, mix in tomatoes, corn, black beans, and pine nuts. Stir in salt, pepper and lime juice. When the mixture is heated through, spoon it onto plates and top with the sliced red onion and cilantro. Serve a wedge or two of lime with each plate to squeeze over the rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• In a Dutch Oven, over medium-high heat, add sausage, onions, pepper and celery.

Steps:

• In a very large skillet, briefly fry (brown) the steak in the bacon drippings.
• Add 1 cup of hot water and the rice. Cover and allow to simmer over very low heat until the rice is tender.
• Put the chilies into a bowl and pour in the second cup of boiling water over them and allow to stand until cool. Then, hand-squeeze the chilies until the water is red. Add the flour to the chili water and blend which should make it thicken. Discard the chili hulls.
• Add the chili water to the beef in the skillet and also add the salt and onions.
• Allow to simmer for about 10 more minutes (until onions are tender) and serve.
